Even if those rails are never tested due to social norms or enforcement from the group rather than the GM?

Ehh. That still puts the one person not up on the concept in a pretty weird position. I don’t love putting them in a “go along to get...

I think that example has some nuance to it. I generally don't like to run established IP settings (especially ones that have finicky...
